From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world stands idly by in the face of the virus spreading. The prediction of highly vulnerable population and the implementation of proper actions are very important steps to break the infection chain of any virus. This will, in turn, reduce the economic and social impact of this virus outbreak. In this study, the COVID-19 vulnerability map for the West Bank, Palestine was developed. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to develop the COVID-19 vulnerability map. The Geographic Information system (GIS) in combination with multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) was adopted to estimate the COVID-19 vulnerability index (CVI) based on some selected potential criteria including population, population density, elderly population, accommodation and food service activities, school students, chronic diseases, hospital beds, health insurance, and pharmacy. The results of this study show that Nablus, Jerusalem, and Hebron governorates are under very high vulnerability. Tulkarm, Ramallah & Al-Bireh and Jenin governorates are high vulnerable to COVID-19. Additionally, 82 % of the West Bank population are under high to very high COVID-19 vulnerability classes. Moreover, 14% and 4 % are medium and low to very low vulnerable, respectively. The obtained results are of high value to help decision-makers to take proper actions as early as possible mainly in the highly COVID-19 vulnerable governorates to control the risk associated with the potential outbreak of the virus and accordingly to protect social life and to sustain economic conditions.

巴勒斯坦西岸基于 GIS 的 COVID-19 漏洞映射

从 COVID-19 大流行开始,世界面对病毒的传播就袖手旁观。预测高度脆弱的人群并采取适当的行动是打破任何病毒感染链的非常重要的步骤。反过来,这将减少这次病毒爆发的经济和社会影响。在这项研究中,开发了巴勒斯坦西岸的 COVID-19 脆弱性地图。层次分析法 (AHP) 用于开发 COVID-19 漏洞图。采用地理信息系统 (GIS) 结合多标准决策分析 (MCDA),根据一些选定的潜在标准,包括人口、人口密度、老年人口、住宿和餐饮服务,估计 COVID-19 脆弱性指数 (CVI)活动,在校学生,慢性病、病床、健康保险和药房。这项研究的结果表明,纳布卢斯、耶路撒冷和希伯伦省的脆弱性非常高。图尔卡姆、拉马拉、比雷和杰宁省很容易受到 COVID-19 的影响。此外,西岸 82% 的人口处于高到非常高的 COVID-19 脆弱性类别。此外,14% 和 4% 分别为中、低到极低的脆弱性。获得的结果具有很高的价值,可以帮助决策者尽早采取适当的行动,主要是在 COVID-19 高度脆弱的省份,以控制与病毒潜在爆发相关的风险,从而保护社会生活并维持经济条件。耶路撒冷和希伯伦省的脆弱性非常高。图尔卡姆、拉马拉、比雷和杰宁省很容易受到 COVID-19 的影响。此外,西岸 82% 的人口处于高到非常高的 COVID-19 脆弱性类别。此外,14% 和 4% 分别为中、低到极低的脆弱性。获得的结果具有很高的价值,可以帮助决策者尽早采取适当的行动,主要是在 COVID-19 高度脆弱的省份,以控制与病毒潜在爆发相关的风险,从而保护社会生活并维持经济条件。耶路撒冷和希伯伦省的脆弱性非常高。图尔卡姆、拉马拉、比雷和杰宁省很容易受到 COVID-19 的影响。此外,西岸 82% 的人口处于高到非常高的 COVID-19 脆弱性类别。此外,14% 和 4% 分别为中、低到极低的脆弱性。获得的结果具有很高的价值,可以帮助决策者尽早采取适当的行动,主要是在 COVID-19 高度脆弱的省份,以控制与病毒潜在爆发相关的风险,从而保护社会生活并维持经济条件。82% 的西岸人口处于高到非常高的 COVID-19 脆弱性类别。此外,14% 和 4% 分别为中、低到极低的脆弱性。获得的结果具有很高的价值,可以帮助决策者尽早采取适当的行动,主要是在 COVID-19 高度脆弱的省份,以控制与病毒潜在爆发相关的风险,从而保护社会生活并维持经济条件。82% 的西岸人口处于高到非常高的 COVID-19 脆弱性类别。此外,14% 和 4% 分别为中、低到极低的脆弱性。获得的结果具有很高的价值,可以帮助决策者尽早采取适当的行动,主要是在 COVID-19 高度脆弱的省份,以控制与病毒潜在爆发相关的风险,从而保护社会生活并维持经济条件。
